No memory and orders to kill.

Who has his lover become?

Two years after their short, intense affair, Texas Ranger Jameson Beckett discovers Kelly Stockwell alive. Except she has amnesia…and a note demanding she kill Jameson. Where is the woman with whom he shared so much? Because Kelly remembers nothing, not even the toddler they learn is their daughter. With secrets unraveling and bullets flying, is Jameson’s trust in Kelly’s heart enough to save them all?

 

Fast paced and action packed! A mystery is solved amidst mounting drama and danger! If you’ve been following along with the Blue River Ranch series, you’ll recognize several of the key players from the underlying crime that’s been carrying forward in each book. With this one, we finally get some justice and some answers to it all. The action of this particular story starts off early in the book and the intrigue carries forward throughout. I liked the characters and the premise of the plot, but did feel there were a few holes left unfilled. Overall a solid mystery and an entertaining read.

Two years ago, the woman Texas Ranger Jameson Beckett was having an affair with disappeared without a trace after betraying him. He searched for her for months, but she simply vanished into thin air and was presumed dead. Getting a call to an active crime scene in no way prepares Jameson to see Kelly again, injured, scared, not remembering even her own name … and carrying a note demanding she kill him.

Private Investigator Kelly Stockwell can’t tell Jameson why she left or where she’s been because she simply doesn’t remember, but news of her being found brings people scurrying to the police station from all sides with their own version of stories to tell. Kelly starts to have a small snippet of a memory here and there, but she truly has no clue to most of the things these people are saying, and when the most shocking piece of news yet comes to light, she’s not sure Jameson will ever be able to forgive her for keeping their daughter from him!
